I’ve designated this week to Valentine’s Day. On Monday, I shared my top 5 waifus from anime (mostly). Today, I want to share 5 video games for lovers, couples, and those of us just looking for some fun two-player options. I decided to focus mainly on games I’ve played with others that were fun, so there’s definitely tons of other games like shooters that aren’t mentioned on this list that would be fun to play with two people! Check out my picks below!

Stardew Valley co-op! I started a farm with my girlfriend. As much as I loved the game by myself, it’s way better with a friend (aside from cutscene/time issues that occasionally happen).

Overcooked is so good. Me and the fiance finished the first one, but still haven’t beaten the second one.

Slightly different tone, a little less…romantic…but uh, my ex and I played resident evil 5 a lot! Whether the implied bond between the characters was anything more than the intensity of the situation…who can say. But was a great game to play together.

Minecraft is a great two player game. I whiled away so many hours with an ex boyfriend just building and mining and it never got boring. I also love playing ESO. Technically it’s not two player, it’s multiplayer, but it’s fun to play with a partner.
